Oppenheimer

 

Looking forward to this movie. It's directed by Christopher Nolan (so you know it will be good) and it's coming out in late July. That should give me enough time to read The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes - a dense history book (about 750 pages) that's been sitting on my stack for some time.

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Chad Ochocinco will wear number 85 for the New England Patriots while Aaron Hernandez will switch from 85 to 81. I wonder what that cost Ochocinco to get his uniform number? I think Ochocinco can have Wes Welker type production for that Pats. He doesn't need long bombs to be successful. He is very quick and good at running routes. He easily could match his uniform number in receptions with Tom Brady as his QB. So let it be written - so let it be done... Heh heh - Algorithm... The things you learn on the Internet (via Mental Floss): "In 1965, Alan Stillman opened T.G.I. Friday’s in New York as a way to meet stewardesses. He said it was the first singles bar." I just find that funny. A single's bar that now has a kids menu? If it had a kids menu back it 1965 it would be just creepy. Like a single's bar designed with NAMBLA in mind... 10 Reasons to Love Alex Trebek... It has been 36 years to the day that Jimmy Hoffa disappeared... Today is also Bud Selig's 77th birthday... This is literally scary good. Michael Chiklis' audition tape for The Shield (NSFW language)... Director Christopher Nolan turns 41 today. I will go to see any movie he directs.... The Red Sox Magic Number is now 57
